Blind Pig IPA

The Beer

Blind Pig IPA

Blind Pig is a prohibition-era term for a speakeasy. Our very first brewery was named Blind Pig Brewing Company which was located in Temecula, CA. It was here that we first fell in love with IPA’s and hops. Our Blind Pig IPA is generously hopped with hints of citrus, woody notes, and a lingering bitterness. Keep refrigerated and consume fresh to best enjoy this beer’s intense hop character.

Blind Pig IPA was first brewed at the Blind Pig Brewery (Vinnie’s first brewery in Temecula), though the original Blind Pig recipe was something that Vinnie brewed for many years as a homebrewer before brewing it commercially. At the time, Blind Pig IPA was one of the hoppiest, if not the hoppiest IPA available anywhere, weighing in at 6.5% ABV with 92 BUs. In 1994, it was a total hop-bomb and different from most anything commercially available at the time. In time, this and other hoppy beers earned Vinnie the nickname “The Hopfather.”
